Josephine Nychole here again. If you are anything like me; you are obsessed with lip products. I have a drawer filled with lipsticks of all colors and brands. However, I tend to gravitate towards my nudes. Perhaps, they are just less risky - but boy are they flattering. I tend to lean towards nudes with more of a pink tone - but the one's I chose below are pretty well rounded {I think}. Which are your favorites?

NYX Matte Lipstick 'Natural' || $5.99 || These are actually my favorite "drug-store // high-street" lipsticks on the market. They are amazing. The pigmentation is great, and they are fairly long lasting for a lipstick {not marketed as long lasting}. This color is a perfect 'natural' color - that should work on almost any lip. A definite Must Have.

MAC {Satin} Lipstick 'Faux' || $16 || Mac lipstick is my absolute favorite brand of lipstick. I am obsessed with the fragrance of these lipsticks. I'm not quite sure why, but I love it. It's my beauty dream to own every MAC lipstick in the line. This will most likely never happen - but one lipstick at a time.

Nars Lipstick 'Honolulu Honey' || $26 || This nude lipstick leans towards the orange side, but is still very much a nude lipstick. These would be perfect for those of us that have naturally a lighter more flesh toned lip color. Otherwise, it could work for anyone. Not your style - these Nars lipsticks are pretty amazing and come in many other colors!

Eyes lips face {elf} 'Classy' || $1 || This is seriously an amazing line for a very nice price. When these lipsticks first hit the market, I grabbed one in every color {for LESS than one MAC lipstick - that's crazy.} Classy is by far my favorite color from the line && has been set as a nearly identical dupe for MAC's Angel.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor 'Born with It' || $7.49 || Born with it is a perfect nude lipstick. It's more on the pink side - but will pretty much mimic a lips color but better. It makes my lips look pretty flawless. It's a great nude lipstick and should work for just about everyone.

Let's be serious; when I hear the words "New" in the beauty world, I immediately start salivating. I become completely obsessed, and want it - NOW. This isn't always possible for a broke college student like me; but I can dream right? Here's a list of Five "New{er}" products that are currently on the top of my wishlist.

1. Lorac Pro Palette 2 || 42$ || I actually purchased this product the day it became available at my local Ulta. I love my Lorac Pro palette, so I knew I had to have this. These palettes, in my opinion, are far superior to any of the Urban Decay Palettes {I own all three Naked Palettes}. I find myself gravitating towards my Lorac Pro Palette 9 out of 10 times. The pigmentation and creaminess of the shadows are just amazing. I was worried that the first palette was just too good to be true; but thankfully I was wrong. The second palette in this line is just as amazing. A definite must for any beauty lover.

2. bareMinerals bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20 || 29$ || If you can make it past the incredibly long name, this product seems pretty cool due to the fact that it's made by bareMinerals. bareMinerals is pretty famous for their amazing powder foundations. They added the pressed powders to their line {of which I love} so I guess the only next option would be a liquid foundation? It seems to be making some good waves in the beauty community.

3. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wearing Lipstick || 21$ || I am a true lip product junkie; so these definitely intrigue me. I've tried them at Sephora, and WANT one, but 21 bucks is a kind of steep for me right now. They are absolutely at the top of my wishlist though!

4. Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit || 45$ || When I worked at Sephora I had SO may customers come in asking about contouring. We always hear about it, and want to be able to contour with the best of them; the new Smashbox Step-By-Step kit does just that. It even comes with the brush to do the work; pretty awesome if you ask me. Let's get to contouring.

5. Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Push-Up Liner || 24$ || I'm in love with They're Real mascara, so when I heard this was coming out I was extremely excited! I actually received a sample one in the mail a few weeks ago; I'm not sure why I haven't tried it yet - but I just haven't {I think I forgot I had it}. I've watched some YouTube Videos; and it's kind of a hit and miss product - some love it, some hate it. I'm interested in trying it out myself, maybe tomorrow.
